My favorite Clancy adaptation, and not because of Baldwin over Ford, it was very true to the

Best thing about HfRO was Connery's performance - Jazz Inmate 21:32:33 03/31/13 (1)
I didn't mind the boat chase at the end, as much of the action and plot of Patriot Games was over the top. Same with Clear and Present Danger -- a bit over the top but that's the best way to watch Harrison Ford.

  to Patriot Games. Ditto Clear and Present Danger. IIRC, in the book the bad guy, who was a former Castro agent who turned on the regime, was captured and turned over to Cuban authorities at Gitmo to face what would presumably be a rather unpleasant demise. Whatever, I don't mean to pick em to death. All fun to watch and I own the first 3.
